Admission Awards - Entering post-secondary for the first time

At Queen's, we recognize a university education is a major financial undertaking. All Queen's students share the ability to excel academically, but many may not be able to fully finance their university education. Queen's University is here to help you achieve that goal, not just now, but throughout your undergraduate studies. Students entering the Faculty of Law, School of Medicine, Consecutive Education, or other graduate programs are not eligible for the awards listed in this section.

Students demonstrating superior academic ability, creative and original thinking, involvement in school/community activities, and leadership qualities can apply for a major admission award. These awards have values between $36,000 and $80,000. Financial need is also a consideration for some awards.

An admission bursary is based on an assessment of your financial need. It is an amount of money you do not have to pay back. Students applying for an admission bursary must also be considering government student financial assistance.

Schulich Leader Scholarships were created by Canadian business leader and philanthropist Seymour Schulich. The program is funded by The Schulich Foundation and Co-Administered by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. Queen’s is one of 20 participating universities. The program recognizes students across Canada who are planning to study science, technology, engineering, or math.
